Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The engine is protected by a large
circuit breaker located on the engine.
The accessories are protected by cir-
cuit breakers on the battery switch
panel and by the accessory circuit
breakers located below the steering
wheel. Wires are color-coded to indi-
cate which accessory each circuit
breaker services. Some items, such as
radios and bilge pumps, may be
fused individually at the unit. Auto-
float switches are fused at the battery.
Batteries
The batteries supply electricity for
lights, accessories and engine starting.
The electrical section of Chapter 8, in
the Owner’s Manual, provides battery
care and maintenance instructions.
Battery Switch
The battery switch (located behind
the helm seat in the storage area) has
four (4) positions (see upper photo-
graph on right);
•
Position 1 - Battery 1 provides
power for engine starting and accessories. Battery 1 (only) will be charged by the engine alternator when the
engine is running at high idle or faster.
•
Position 2 - Battery 2 provides power for engine starting and accessories. Battery 2 (only) will be charged by
the engine alternator when the engine is running at high idle or faster.
•
Position "BOTH" - If batteries are low, provides power for engine starting from both batteries. The BOTH posi-
tion also allows the charging of both batteries by the engine alternator when the engine is running at high idle or
faster.
•
The battery switch should be switched to the OFF position whenever the boat is left unoccupied for long periods
of time.
